Outstanding Service, Amazing Guide, Incredible Memories
We booked our safari with Meijo Safari and couldn’t be happier with the experience. The booking process was smooth, transparent, and tailored to our individual wishes. What stood out especially was the excellent communication before the trip – the team was always available, answered all our questions, and helped us prepare perfectly.
The entire journey was exceptionally well organized – everything ran smoothly, the staff were incredibly friendly, reliable, and always on time. The absolute highlight, of course, was the safari itself: our guide Michael did a fantastic job. His passion, deep knowledge about the wildlife and landscapes, and his warm personality made the experience truly unforgettable. We learned so much from him while also enjoying the breathtaking beauty of Africa.
Overall, we can highly recommend Meijo Safari: you get outstanding service at a very fair price. Thank you for this once-in-a-lifetime experience – we would book with Meijo again anytime!

Unforgettable Safari with Efraem Solomon
Our safari through the Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater absolutely amazing, and a big part of that was thanks to our incredible guide, Efraem Solomon.
Efraem was everything you’d hope for in a guide — professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had an amazing eye for spotting wildlife and made sure we had the best views while always respecting the animals and environment. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five and so much more — lions, cheetahs, elephants, even a black rhino!
He also shared fascinating insights about animal behavior, local culture, and the ecosystems we were exploring. His passion was contagious and really enhanced the entire experience.
The trip was well organized, the vehicle was super comfortable, and the accommodations exceeded our expectations. If you’re planning a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend Safari Soles — and if you can, ask for Efraem Solomon. He made this trip unforgettable.

Michael was a very experienced and funny guy. We spotted big 5 on the 4 day safari.
Communication with Meijo (Marcelina) was excellent and very quick. I loved the transparency of the costs. Every activity was quoted seperatly . If you find a cheaper price or want to choose a cheaper option, Meijo adapted it to your needs. Even on the first day the room was not ready on arrival and Marcelina quickly adapted the plan. We did the Arusha markets tour earlier and she organized a possible to freshen up.
The 4 day safari ( 1 day tarangire, 2 days Serengeti, 1/2 day crater of ungoro) was perfect for our needs. It was exhausting but this was what we asked for :) if you want a trip more relaxed. Plan 1/2 days more. Michael tried the best to get as much fitted in these days as possible. Which we achieved, we were more than happy with the amount of animals we spotted. Big 5, more than 25 lions, 6 cheetahs (2 of them baby’s).
The experience of Michael was here the winning factor.
I definitely recommend to book the balloon flight over Serengeti since you will see the park from a different angle and you are able to see places which are not reachable via car. It’s quite expensive compared to balloon rides in different part of the world ( we paid 500$ p.p) but definitely worth it. We asked different passengers which booked not via the safari agency directly and they paid 600$ so definitely book via Meijo directly. The choosed accommodations were excellent ( food, cleanliness and service). Only problem sometimes is the WiFi connection in the lodges.

Exceptional experience!
We did a 5-day safari including Taranguire PN, Ngorongoro CA, Lake Manyara PN and Serengeti PN and ... WOW! It was the best holidays of our lifes! Our guide was Jordan qnd he was so amazing, he is knowledgeable about all-things-Tanzania and more! We saw the big 5 and we could not have asked for anything to be different.

Giving all you would want at the best possible price.
With the abundance of operators it can be overwhelming to choose and we were lucky enough to have chosen the right one. Not online but by walking into their office. Turned out to be the best decision after six months of comparing various operators.

Amazing experience with our nice guide Moloko. We have seen 3 of the big five and other animals too.
Left Stranded in South Africa after using Southern African Tours
Our trip with Southern African Tours (run by Craig and Bianca) turned into a complete disaster. We started planning more than a year in advance (Sept 2024 for travel in Sept 2025) and followed their payment schedule faithfully:
Initial deposit: Sept 2024
Second payment (domestic flights): Nov 2024
Final balance: June 2025
At first, communication was fine. Bianca seemed organized and responsive. But after our second payment, everything went downhill. She became nearly impossible to reach — delays of days or weeks, excuses about being “too busy,” and eventually, total silence.
The real problems began just before departure:
5 days before flying out: We requested a group call to confirm details. She promised Monday — then vanished.
Day before departure: We begged for pickup and flight details. No reply.
Arrival in Johannesburg: No local flight was booked. We had to purchase tickets ourselves at the airport.
First lodge stay: Our reservation had only been made the day before. They demanded we pay again for the first two nights.
Subsequent itinerary: No transfers, no accommodations. We were forced to arrange (and fund) everything on our own.
Cape Town flights: Also never booked. Once again, more last-minute scrambling and out-of-pocket costs.
In short: we paid Southern African Tours in full, but they delivered nothing. We were repeatedly abandoned, overcharged, and left to fend for ourselves.
Looking back, we should have taken other negative reviews more seriously. Their responses always shift blame onto the traveler — now we know why.
